The Enforcement Directorate (ED) informed the Supreme Court that it intends to imminently submit a prosecution complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in connection with a money laundering case linked to the purported excise policy scandal.
Representing the Enforcement Directorate, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju informed a bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta that the agency is planning to submit the prosecution complaint, or charge sheet, against Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP. He stated, "We are proposing to file the prosecution complaint against Arvind Kejriwal and AAP. We will do it shortly. It is in the pipeline."

On May 10, the apex court granted interim bail to Kejriwal till June 1 in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. He has to surrender on June 2.
